TD or Peterson

[D.B.]

I got into a debate with a very knowledgable football junkie (high school HC, dad has 30 yrs HC exp and state championship, bro played D1, pro, and national football analysis) wether its prefered to have TD or Peterson on your team. Out of curiosity who says you? Who is better? Bronco RB standard verse current RB league standard.

AP. And not to take a thing away from TD.

Man, you have to wonder what AP might have done on those Broncos teams... Of pure speed and skill, you almost have to go AP... No knock on TD, but AP is a once in a decade back... The guy, ACL tear and all is just special.

One of the guys who goes unsung for vision, shiftiness, blocking and a nose for 3rd down yardage and pass catch ability was Thurman Thomas. He's not AP or TD good, but the guy was pretty amazing

[CHEF LUIGI]

whats the name of the HOF QB that AP plays with?

Right. He's alone out there, pretty amazing really.

If you were to judge solely by the potency of their sperm, I think you'd have to say AP.

and yet if you look at thurman thomas' post season numbers, a guy who was in FOUR consecutive superbowls they do not compare with TD !TD has more 100 yard games in the post season than thomas a guy whose team made it to 4 SBs a guy who is in the HOF.
its bull excrement !

TD. He played in a league when defenses had less restrictions and he would have **** on Peterson's 2k mark had he been allowed to play full games in 98. Peterson is still an amazing RB though. Likely a HoF'er.

True and he plays for a guy name Leslie.

Thurman Thomas was also a much better receiver than Davis ever was. After 1996, nothing was the same for him. 15,000 + yards and 80+ touchdowns in 9 healthy seasons is nothing to look down on.

TD had really good hands, just wasnt part of our design.

Peterson.

TD is a legend, but I think AP is the best pure runner I've ever seen.

I agree 100% if TD was not rested in so many games he could have run for 2200 easy !
I absolutely love TD, but defenders had more than TD to worry about! and TD played with a great FB too.
who is APs wing man/ FB ?
AP is easily one of the 5 best RBs of all time, TD top ten.
and I love me some TD !

But, Davis had a decent amount catches his first three years.

Davis was the better pure runner. Thomas was a much better pass catcher. He averaged 11.0 YPC. Pretty darn good!

TD. Mostly because he's my favorite player ever so I'm really biased in his favor.
